EN: The act of being a nuisance; disturbance
This is the state of being a major 'istorbo' (nuisance). It’s not just a single act, but the quality of being disruptive. Think of the neighbor who does karaoke at 2 AM, the slow Wi-Fi during a crucial Zoom meeting, or that officemate who keeps asking questions you just Googled for them. That's the essence of 'pagka-estorbo'. It's the opposite of 'good vibes only.'
From Spanish 'estorbo' (hindrance, nuisance).
ROOT MEANING: nuisance; hindrance
Often used to express annoyance or frustration.
